SPH is Happy Hunting Ground for much desired ex-ministers and other losers

[Confuseous]

Mah Bow Tan and Raymond Lim are believed to be jobless. They are also ex-SPH employees, like A Zainul. (Mah Bow Tan was appointed non-Executive Chairman of Yellow Pages Singapore last Friday, after spending a few months there as Senior Strategic Adviser to the Board).

SPH shareholders should be concerned if more unemployed ex-ministers are eyeing jobs at SPH at a time when SPH faces challenges to its dominant position in the media space, what with the rise of new media, and increasing public unhappiness with its constructive, nation-building editotial policy. A policy which has been called “suck up to the government of the day” editorial policy. When the British and M’sian governments ruled here, SPH publications supported their policies.

Ex-president Nathan documented in his recently published memoirs that the post of SPH chairman is in the gift of the prime minister of S’pore. But SPH is a listed company and its editors and journalists keep saying it is independent of the government.
